what is the qoutient?

Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
(6 × 10⁸) ÷ (1.5 × 10⁻⁴)
We can rewrite the given expression as,
[tex]\frac{6\times 10^8}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}[/tex]
Now by solving this expression further,
[tex]\frac{6\times 10^8}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{6}{1.5}\times \frac{10^8}{10^{-4}}[/tex]
[tex]=4\times 10^8\times 10^4[/tex] [Since [tex]\frac{1}{10^{-4}} =10^4[/tex]]
= [tex]4\times 10^{(8+4)}[/tex]
= [tex]4\times 10^{12}[/tex]
Therefore, Quotient of the given expression is [tex]4\times 10^{12}[/tex].
Option (3) will be the answer.
